No, the problem is that entitled assholes buy a perfectly good house designed for a non-car-based lifestyle and then insist on trying to park a car there anyway.
The problem is the unreasonable expectation, not the building and site design.
I understand we’re in the “fuck cars” community but the fact is if there’s a whole neighborhood of houses jammed together and they all have cars coming out the wazoo, the entire area is probably car-dependent.
That area was probably designed long before cars became essential to living, and they’re probably not in a walkable town where they have everything they need within walking distance.
The “fuck cars” mindset has a fairly minority representation & following, though it is for a noble cause & good reason
and I hope towns & cities work toward evolving to become more human-centric so cars are no longer a necessity for daily life. Reserving cars as a tool for a once-in-awhile long trip.
So don’t buy a Dodge Challenger if you can’t fit the fucking thing in your driveway. A Yaris would fit fine, or at least be close enough, and even if it went into the sidewalk a couple inches my first thought would be that they tried.
Problem is those houses & driveways were not built to accommodate cars so now the cars are oozing out onto the sidewalks.
